ssvb: so we could probably run the pine in 32- and in 64-bit mode, I'd love to use it in both variants
<apritzel>
Quintus23M: seems like we need to work out how this should be presented to the user, as not many people have done this before
<apritzel>
so far most ARM boards are used exclusively either with 32-bit or 64-bit
<Quintus23M>
apritzel: agreed, I can imagine some use cases when 32bit is needed, but you can stick with a single cheap hardware
<apritzel>
well, the Cortex cores and Linux provide a compat mode, so you can run either a complete 32-bit userland on a 64-bit kernel or 32-bit programs alongside 64-bit programs on a 64-bit kernel
<apritzel>
very much like x86, actually
<Quintus23M>
apritzel: we're using arm boards as build servers for building and testing docker images for ARMv7 and Aarch64
<apritzel>
also KVM provides the same interoperability like on x86
<apritzel>
so you can run a 32-bit guest kernel (and userland) on a 64-bit host
<Quintus23M>
apritzel: so we could run this on a single hardware, with different kernels - no two different boards needed!
<apritzel>
but technically you wouldn't need a 32-bit for this
<apritzel>
*kernel*
leio has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]

With 1.3GHz it's still no 'illegal' overvolting
<KotCzarny>
tkaiser: without heatsink even 1200 is a bit too much under full load
<KotCzarny>
if one doesnt want to exceed 80C then 1008 is suggested
<tkaiser>
No, that's what thermal throttling is for
<KotCzarny>
yes
<KotCzarny>
but think about it, 1008 seems like STABLE temp. under load, and 1200/1296 as turbo for short periods of load
<KotCzarny>
and i agree, with heatsink it might be possible to run 1200/1296 all the time, most of devices are bare tho
<KotCzarny>
s/heatsink/good heatsink/
<tkaiser>
Where's the point? Just let thermal throttling do its job (applies to GPU too)
<tkaiser>
If you fear overheating then adjust throttling (decrease the thermal values in the fex file)
<tkaiser>
Then using the right cpufreq settings you get good single threaded performance at 1.2/1.3 GHz and under full load the SoC will stay at the temperature level you decided
<KotCzarny>
i dont fear about overheating, i just want true rating for devices. and that rating is the one that can be ran for extended periods of time, not when used for temporary boosts
<KotCzarny>
if you run compile farm and they throttle down, which freq would you take for compile time calculations?
<tkaiser>
You should really setup Virtualbox with a x64 Ubuntu inside when you still think about 'compile farms' ;)
<KotCzarny>
i'm not saying that with the right tinkering (os and physical) you can get stable 1.3 or 1.4, i'm just saying that aw rated those cpus for 1.2
ikmaak has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<KotCzarny>
and people should be aware what is possible when not using heatsink/fan
<tkaiser>
If I would think about a compile farm I would take the price per unit, dvfs settings, consumption under load and heat dissipation into account. And then most likely end up with the highest cpufreq at a relatively low voltage level (consumption and heat) and use a few more nodes

yes, but on different machine (x86)

where does this come from? I have tried 4 different SD cards already.
<Azathtot>
jstein, are journaling enabled?
<jstein>
Azathtot: mount says: /dev/mmcblk0p2 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime)
<jstein>
it is a bananian image by lemaker. I wished to install gentoo, but the preinstalled image it so outdated and I could not find a good howto yet. I am a bit paranoid about manipulated images....
<jstein>
it seems armbian vanilla, jessy should work for me. I was a bit disappointed when I only found +1 year old SD card images for the Banana and also very confusing informations about "bad" sd card images. armbian gives new hope. The project looks very active. Nice.
<KotCzarny>

<KotCzarny>
do you boot machine often?
<KotCzarny>
otherwise it makes your system worse
<jstein>
We will see, if there is a better init in 3 years.
<KotCzarny>
if you want faster boot, just remove unnecessary things
<KotCzarny>
jstein: as i said, it was added in 4.4
<tkaiser>
jstein: Armbian development is pretty active, we just added sensor read-outs for Banana Pro's power management unit (AXP209) and start to integrate a whole monitoring aproach that can be activated on demand
<KotCzarny>
it will be added soon to armbian
<KotCzarny>
its just not released yet
<KotCzarny>
but if you want audio here and now, just go with legacy, and update to 4.4 once its released

Then you end up with 4.4 and audio should work

I was wondering whether one could make use of that SDIO connector on the Pine64 for storage
tkaiser has joined #linux-sunxi
<KotCzarny>
isnt sdio superset of sd?
<apritzel>
I think so
<apritzel>
and it's MMC2, which has 8 lines
<apritzel>
so 8-bit instead of the standard 4-bit
<apritzel>
so ideally an eMMC module to fit in there
<tkaiser>
jstein: No need to buy a fast card. Never exceeded 20 MB/s on Banana Pi/Pro. Only interesting when you're regularly flashing OS images (like me ;)
<tkaiser>
apritzel: They said already that this is not possible because they muxed necessary pins for eMMC
<tkaiser>
For something different (GPIO IIRC)
<KotCzarny>
well, having faster card might have one bonus, if its fast with 4k random read/write
<KotCzarny>
so if it has high iops then it will be faster than generic one
<apritzel>
tkaiser: so one would loose some GPIO pins on one of the connectors?
<apritzel>
I could live with that ...
<apritzel>
if that would give me some fast embedded storage
<tkaiser>
Don't remember, would need to google 'mmc site:pine64.com'. But IIRC TL Lim said it cannot be done with their actual schematics
<KotCzarny>
apritzel: dual sdcard is nice too
<tkaiser>
And if I understood wens right then SD card will also be limited to 25 MB/s maximum on Pine64 since they use fixed voltage
<apritzel>
was just thinking that we could have something like the Odroid's eMMC module
<tkaiser>
Will be possible with Olimex' A64 boards. And I hope they will solve the dual voltage issue so that faster eMMC modes are possible
<apritzel>
tkaiser: yeah, I read about this
<tkaiser>
(lack of) I/O is a bit of a problem with Pine64

vagrantc: its sunday afternon
<leviathancn>
vagrantc: sorry ^_^'
<libv>
leviathancn: so i take it that allwinner was not that good an employer then
<libv>
leviathancn: thanks for whatever difference you did manage to make
<leviathancn>
libv: my difference was that I just told them the truth into the face
<leviathancn>
to the highest layer of the management

vishnup has quit [Quit: Connection closed for inactivity]
<buZz>
what difference did that make?
<KotCzarny>
highest layer is probably more political than technical/managerial
<libv>
well, guess why so many companies are constantly trying to hire me :p
<buZz>
libv: cause you come in snacksized package with toy included?
<leviathancn>
well, that I like to just choke some of their manager
<leviathancn>
and then hit them into the face
<buZz>
wait, did you want us to guess?
<leviathancn>
and then choke them again
<leviathancn>
and then hit them again
<leviathancn>
over and over again
<buZz>
leviathancn: did that work out well?
<leviathancn>
no
<buZz>
who expected that :D
* buZz
raises hand
<leviathancn>
basically that's what I wanted to do during this meeting
<KotCzarny>
oh, so you didnt?
<leviathancn>
arrogance++
<leviathancn>
no
<buZz>
you're more of a manager then?
<KotCzarny>
probably that's why you are still alive
<leviathancn>
I mean the engineers are nice guys
<buZz>
all talk , no action?
<buZz>
:)
<leviathancn>
these guys are actually bigger than me :-(
<leviathancn>
buZz: shouldn't be too hard to get, I ask a guy from there
<buZz>
you would make me such a happy buZz
<buZz>
:)
<leviathancn>
KotCzarny: Basically there is just one rule: "Don't say anything against the party"
<leviathancn>
everything else is irellevant
<KotCzarny>
leviathancn: yup, thought so
<leviathancn>
I was writing a nice email in mandarin to the Chinese space agency
<leviathancn>
saying like
<leviathancn>
I don't like your firewall, you don't like that I don't like the firewall in mainland
<leviathancn>
but I need your industry to build my rocket
<leviathancn>
and you you like my rocket
<leviathancn>
so I build it in Hong Kong and you can over and help with it when you like it
<leviathancn>
looking forward to a cooperation
<leviathancn>
omfg
<leviathancn>
that went to beijing

<leviathancn>
well
<leviathancn>
maybe we really need to hong-kong-ify people in mainland a little more before they start realizing how free software really works
<KotCzarny>
if they only care about selling more, its not gonna work
Azathtot has quit [Quit: Page closed]
<leviathancn>
KotCzarny: that's what I told them
<leviathancn>
Many Chinese say "We are not stupid"
domidumont has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<leviathancn>
basically: "yes they are are"
<leviathancn>
there are many stupid people
<leviathancn>
not all
<leviathancn>
but many
<leviathancn>
and the only advantage are a few smart enough to build nukes
<KotCzarny>
isnt it the same truth everywhere
<leviathancn>
yes
<leviathancn>
basically yes
<leviathancn>
so the fact is is
<leviathancn>
they are just humans
<leviathancn>
:-)
<leviathancn>
just different
<leviathancn>
hmm
<KotCzarny>
not that much, same vices and pleasure spots
<leviathancn>
a lizard trying to understand this culture-thing people are talking about
<leviathancn>
hmm
<leviathancn>
but this free software thingy was the most evolved about humans I've seen so far, hope I can teach this to my coworkers now
<leviathancn>
^_^
<KotCzarny>
free software is about letting go of control
<leviathancn>
and trust at the same time
<KotCzarny>
and sharing for free
<leviathancn>
yes
<leviathancn>
sharing
<leviathancn>
not donating without any paypack ever
<leviathancn>
to a guy who makes profit with your efforts
<leviathancn>
and showing you the middle finger afterwards
<leviathancn>
that makes my primeval instincts come up of wanting to rip this individual appart
<KotCzarny>
otoh lots of 'i made this! littl man coming: ooh, a free software, i-made-this!'
IgorPec has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds]

KotCzarny: yes
<leviathancn>
dafuq
<leviathancn>
they should just honor the free software ideals
<leviathancn>
not just think: oh, it's for free, let's just tak it
<Turl>
ssvb: btw, I used sunxi-fel the other day, it has grown to be a really great tool :)
<leviathancn>
well
<leviathancn>
our startup will do things right now
<leviathancn>
with the rocket and this risc-v chip
Netlynx has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<leviathancn>
hopefully we can teach these mainlanders how free software really works
<KotCzarny>
are there any patents in china?
<Turl>
ssvb: the only inconvenience I spotted is that it insisted at times that the device wasn't there, but running the tool a second time worked
<ssvb>
Turl: maybe it was really not there yet (you tried to run it too soon after powering the device up)? we could make sunxi-fel wait for the device instead of failing
<Turl>
ssvb: it may be that, I don't know how much it takes for it to enumerate, I should check with lsusb
<ssvb>
Turl: in fact, you can probably patch it yourself and contribute this improvement to sunxi-tools :-)
<Turl>
ssvb: yeah, I'll look into it :)
<ssvb>
thanks!
<leviathancn>
KotCzarny: I patented my rocket ^_^
<Turl>
don't mention it :) you guys did all the hard work already
<Turl>
it's actually pretty fast (~500K/s) so I've gone ethernetless lately to do test boots
<KotCzarny>
anyway, sleepy time, nite nite
<leviathancn>
KotCzarny: gn8

international troll would a good description
<leviathancn>
anyway
<leviathancn>
now I'm in Hong Kong
premoboss has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<leviathancn>
I can use their industry and still can be in an evolved area of this planet
<leviathancn>
HK is actually the best place

as long as you keep the head down and don't sell print outs of criticism in a book shop >_>
<leviathancn>
they like to make people believe they know how the internet works but the way they censor I bet they don't know what IRC is xD
<leviathancn>
so I'll sleep now, and in a year I present cool hardware
<leviathancn>
:-)
<leviathancn>
chips for the FOSDEM
<leviathancn>
rockets for the HAR

leviathancn: Out of curiosity: Do you know a 'Mr. Xiong' from Allwinner?
leviathancn has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
<montjoie>
does someone know what means gmac_power1 = "vcc-ephy-io:3300000" in fex file ? what driver use/configure that ?
<ilya-fedin>
Hello, I have Sunchip SDK-758, when for it create kernel and u-boot? I need swap. "Kernel and u-boot are currently WIP" is written at wiki.
<ssvb>
montjoie: Use the Source Luke :-)
<ssvb>
montjoie: I mean, try to grep the Allwinner's SDK
<ilya-fedin>
montjoie: Perhaps someone knows when it created? Or I can I can affect it? Or there is a beta? The matter is that the device rolls idle, it kill programs necessary to me.
<montjoie>
so it is used by a regulator subsystem

thanks for the A64 notes in the wiki by the way
paulk-collins has quit [Quit: Quitte]
<ssvb>
the 32-bit kernel did not require any changes, just psci had to be disabled in the dts because u-boot does not provide it yet
<ssvb>
if we ignore the 64-bit aspect of A64, then it is very similar to other Allwinner SoCs and is relatively easy to support
<Turl>
ssvb: are registers 32 or 64b wide?
<ssvb>
Turl: Allwinner A64 starts in the AArch32 state, and if we do nothing special, then it works just like an ordinary 32-bit processor - http://linux-sunxi.org/Arm64
<ssvb>
backwards compatibility FTW

apritzel: if we use ATF, what would be a better place to insert it in the boot chain?
